Two short months before graduating high school, Kendall Jones’ world is ripped apart at the seams. A stranger rescues her from a near brutal attack, but is unable to save her parents from death. Eight years later, Kendall moves to New York, hoping to put her past behind her, and once again finds herself in need of rescue.

Tristan Price saves the life of a young woman, who then haunts his dreams for eight long years. When she literally falls at his feet, Tristan decides that he will protect her, no matter what the cost. When her past comes back to threaten her, his plan to keep her close could cost his heart. Can Tristan save Kendall a second time, and at what cost? Can the price of love overshadow the darkness of her past?

I am so impressed by this new
author. She gave us a story full of love, strength and wonderful
characters that will make you fall in love from the first chapter. I have
to admit while reading this I had the same feelings I had while reading Fifty
Shades. It isn’t that it is the same story, it was the feelings that
Tristan and Kendall brought to the surface in me while watching their
relationship.

Kendall made the mistake of getting
involved with the wrong guy. After trying to put off sex with Brett for a
long time he finally took what he felt was his leaving her shattered and
confused. His abuse made her parents pick up and move a few times but he
kept finding them till she got the dreaded news that he had killed her
parents. Now alone in life she had to decide to move on with her
life. After going to college and reclaiming her life by moving to New
York with her best friend Cassie she began to find a new life for
herself. She refused to be a victim of Brett, even though he is in jail
for 15 years for the murder she is still shaken and scared and has walls placed
around her heart to prevent from ever letting another man take control over her
again.

Tristan knows Kendall, he has been
keeping an eye on her for the last eight years. He lives with the guilt
that he could have prevented her parent’s murder but he can’t tell her who he
really is. One day he becomes her hero when she is knocked down on the
sidewalks of New York and he calls her Angel. He could tell in her eyes
that he took her breathe away but he knows he can’t get any closer to her than
this. His secrets can never come out or he knows he will lose her
forever. As the story goes on his hand is forced and his alpha protective
controlling ways comes out. Protecting Kendall has been his mission for
years, but he was always able to do that in the shadows, now he has to step
forward and get her out of the country.

Cassie is Kendall’s best friend she
met in high school, just a few weeks before her parents were murdered. Cassie
becomes the sister to her that she never had and goes to New York with her,
working at the same magazine with Kendall. She is very protective of her
friend and doesn’t leave Kendall’s side, which gives her the chance to meet
Jackson, Tristan’s head of security. Cassie is a straight shooter and will tell
you how it is. She doesn’t hold much back and will let anyone who thinks
about hurting Kendall know that she will be happy to cut the balls off any man
who hurts Kendall and serve them on a silver platter.

I really enjoyed this book, the
twists and plot changes made the whole book interesting. The author
captured my attention in the first chapter and never let go of me till the
end. I am really hoping we get to see Cassie and Jackson’s story next
because they were to characters that really made me laugh and wonder who was
going to smack the other first. The ending is not a cliffhanger and we
were given some closure with Kendall and Tristan and what their future
holds. Make sure you get your copy of this book, you won’t regret
it.
